Corrections. 

In former editions of “ Tariff Rates 77 the following errors were dis¬ 
covered in the comparative tables: . 

Paragraph 37, the rate for castor oil in the 1883 and 1890 columns 
should be transposed. 

Paragraph 112, in the Mills bill column, “per ft.” should read “per 
lb.” 

Paragraph 140, Mills column, third line from top of column, “1^- cts. 
per lb.” should read “l^ cts. per lb.” 

Paragraph 143, Mills column, “2.15 cts. per lb.” should read “2 cts. 
per lb.,” and in the line next following, “2£ cts. per lb.” should read 
“ Free.” 

Page 10, in the first note at foot of the table “25 lbs. to sq. yd.” should 
read “ 25 lbs. to the yard.” 

Paragraph 16G, column of 1890, under razors, “$1.25 per doz. and 30 
per ct.” should read “ $1.00 per doz. and 30 per ct.”

Note to Paragraph 318.—The collector of customs at the port of New York hav¬ 
ing decided that sweetened chocolate was dutiable under paragraph 239 at the rate 
of 50 per cent, ad valorem, protests were made against this decision. The matter was 
appealed to the Board of United States General Appraisers. The contention was that 
the parentheses should embrace only the words “other than sweetened chocolate.” 
This claim was sustained by the Board, and the decisiou of the collector reversed. 
(Opinion by General Appraiser Somerville, March 12, 1891.)
